English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae has participated in Korean songstress IU's upcoming album.

The tracklist to IU's second studio release "Last Fantasy" revealed on Tuesday evening showed that Rae composed a song called "4AM" while IU wrote the lyrics to it.

IU has said Rae is her favorite musician and IU was also a special guest performer at Rae's concert in Korea earlier this year.

Other top musicians, all Korean, have taken part in IU's November 29 release as well including Yoon Sang, Lee Juck, Kim Hyung-suk and Yoon Jong-shin.

IU herself wrote the lyrics for six of the total 13 songs while both composing and writing one of the tracks.

IU, real name Lee Ji-eun, has been one of the most popular solo female singers in Korea since her debut in 2008 with several smash hit songs under her belt.

The 18-year-old artist is also set to expand her singing career into Japan next month.
